Book Reviewing Fun

Oh. My. Gosh. I read on Lora's blog earlier this week about how she's signed up to review books for Thomas Nelson. Considering my newest obsession is reading, I couldn't wait to check this out!

Just yesterday we were in the small bookstore in the Logan Airport in Boston when Tim just about pulled me out of there by my arms. He laughed about how I could seriously spend all the money I could in bookstores. I love to read! I've said before I'm a total library nerd, too, so if I can read a book for free, I am All. About. It.

So, naturally, I checked out what Lora was talking about, and let's just say this?

is officially on its way to my door. For me to devour. For free. All I do is blog about it ~ which I'd do anyway, remember my blogging about Same Kind of Different as Me? ~ and post a review on any online bookstore.

It's that easy.

What are you waiting on? Go get your read on!

Library Nerd Talks

I'm a library nerd. I admit it. I love to read. But I'm the type of reader that reads a book once and that's it. Of course, every once in a while, I come across a book that's worth keeping to me. And the last book I read? Definite keeper.



Same Kind of Different as Me by Ron Hall and Denver Moore. It's fantastic! It's a story of Ron and Denver. Two very different men who end up in a beautiful friendship. I highly recommend it. Highly.



So, today at lunch, I went to the library. With my "books to read" list in hand (See? I told you I am a library nerd!), I trucked it on up to the 2nd floor. After quickly researching their online catalog to find out which books they had on hand, I made my way over to pick out a few books.



Now, despite the fact that I visit this library every 2 weeks, usually on Fridays, returning and borrowing books each time, I still don't feel like the employees of this library are friendly. They refuse to act as those they've seen me there before. I finally figured it out today. Librarians? Snotty.



Here's proof:



After making my selections of, granted, a few novels, I proceed to check out. Ole' tall skinny employee who's always working helps me. He's helped me before at least 50 times. Never chit chats. Well, today, I decided I'm breakin' down that wall.



Me: "So, do you read?"

I realize that was a really stupid question. But go with me here.

Skinny: "Yeah"

Me: "I just read a fantastic book."

Skinny cuts me off: "I don't read fiction."

Refer to the first half of this post. My most recent book was not fiction. Thankyouverymuch.
Me: "It's not fiction. "

There may or may not have been a snotty look in my eye when I said that.

Skinny: "Oh, what was it?"

Me: Same Kind of Different as Me. I highly recommend it.



And that was that. I think I might've made headway with Skinny but time will tell.



What are you reading these days?



Now, I've got some silly ole' fiction to dive into. . . .
